I've been rewatching the original BBS documentary - especially part 2 about FidoNet, Ken Kaplan and the others who helped build FidoNet and beyond... after all the fire posts and shitstorms.

While I carried FidoNet on my BBS in 1993, I wasn't around for the end. I remember carrying some other nets linked to Telegard and Renegade BBS softwares - when did the Fido protocol get ported or started to be used by other nets?

Was it back then - I remember those Fido-like nets I mentioned... and others; WWiV, etc.

Anyone remember the story of the breakdown and how it became 'open source' or at least used by other FTNs???
